VIE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extractrfrom the Morning Popers,4prilll,lB2B. EMI TIMES.] We congratulate the country on the failure of The project last night, for creating—not a new place, but, which is worse, a new salary—with out .any increase of places. The attempt was (under pretext of the great abilities and applica tion of Mr. Huskisson) to attach for ever no less a sum than 5,0001. a year to the Presidency of the' Board of Trade, which Presidency Mr. I 3 u s- SOO now holds, together with the 'Treasurer ship of the Navy, the former office never having had any salary attached to it ; and the latter, which is almost a sinecure, conveying a salary of 3,6001. a year into the pocket of its possessor. — With respect to the praises bestowed upon Mr. Huskisson personally, we shall only say, address ing him in the words of the poet— " Tu recte vives, si cures esse, quad audis." You will have employment enough, if you do but live up to the character which has been given of you. The eulogies were, perhaps, a little ex travagant, but they may excite to greater exer tions. Yet, whatever be the merit of the present President of the Board of Trade, does that merit constitute a reason for assigning so vast a salary to an office of which he is only the temporary possessor, which has been held by notorious boobies, and may be held by another of the hoOby-tribe to-morrow ? If Mr. Huskisson does the business of the Chancellor of the EXchequer, why is he not removed to the o ffi ce ? Why do not he and Mr. Robinson change places ? Then there might be a proper graduation of salaries, as applicable to the public utility of those who en joy them, and no new salary need be created. We wish both Mr. Canning and Mr. iluskisson to feel the very different light in which they both stand before the country since this abortive attempt to exact money for the presumed services of the lat ter ; and we fervently hope that they may soon regain whatever of the public love or esteem they have lost. They know that the aristocracy hate them. Why do they afford food for that hatred to feed upon? Why do they forfeit or suffer to wane that which can alone uphold them, or ren der their full bonourable,—the respect of their countrymen at large ?—When the salaries of the Judges were increased, that truly great man, Sir Wm. Grant, sent word to the Minister of the day, that he wished for nothing more. The salary of this office, then, of Master of the Rolls, was sufficiently great. On the contrary, what does Mr. Huskisson do, n hen being already in the receipt of three thousand pounds a-year, an ab solutely new salary is to be Created for him, and to be perpetuated on all his successors ? He bluithingly runs through all his various toils, in the manner in which) Captain 'Popham, in his Life of Altees, describes the multitudinous offices of the miser's huntsman. lie cleans: the horses, feeds the dogs, prepares the table for the master, milks the cows, and is ready to take the field again in his scarlet coat at the hour of chase. It was a curious explanation that the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave of that . Ministerial word re. sponsibility, in one of his speeches on this clues lion. itesponsibility does not oblige those who are subject to it to make toed any loss that may a terue through the knavery or negligence of their subordinates in office! What is responsibility good for, then ? It is like Falstrirs honour : it bath no skill in surgery—it cannot heal a broken limb. rmuw it will be in the tecollection of our Readers, that several Members of the Opposition in the ittst Session of Parliament, expressed their very JUIXIOUiI desire that the distinguished services of Mr. fiusltisgon, as President of the Board of Trade, should be_ more adequately remunerated, and openly. stated their readiness to co-operate any measure for this purpose.,---The Coverntne forebore to act on this declaration in the I4st Ses siat, and it was not until they were assured tha tbsP Opposition would' themselves propose a salary Ork4ooo/. per annum for the President of the Besaill-of Trade if it was any longer delayed,that the Gove'rnaieut consented to make this proposi tiOtßut as soon as thelneasure is fairly before tire' Muse, what course do the Opposition follow ? They clamour against the Government 'for pro posing what they had themselves suggested, and refuse their acquiescence to their own proposi• tion, unless it he accompanied by that which they fever before explained ; the demolition of attotiter dike essential to the due conduct and payment of our whole naval department. It justification of this breach 'of faith that thil tearer prospect of a general election bus maciti the country more alive to every mat te't of ex pencei and therefore more sus cepfible on every subject calculated to excite the . feelings of the people. :The fault, if fault theM 'be, in proposing a salary of 5,0001. for the Peertident of the . Board of Trade, belongs to the OPPoSition and not to the Government. To the 'latter:W.4mo the merit of even refusing to prOS the measure, last night, when they found thAr opptm4 tits ready to make use of it for the ~pr(rostt of raising popular clamour. Mr. Can.! twig's able arid luminous speech places the whole ottleis cage a point of view so constitution al .and unansw<4ltible, that we recommend it strongly to the pernsa,l of our readers, Whilst we rejoice that -the Gov 'clement • have refused .to become the' intitrorneis of farther reducing the legl difritttO and. is 'ecittisary influence ,of the . Crown f(le4s4 . nt this moment its the House of Commons than tot any, former period of our history), we trust they wilt t, for the future, look with a very suspicious ,eye an all Propositiml coming from .th e i r opponent s, especially of a pequniary cha. racier., The old adage, Timeo - Damn e lith n Wow forentesi : shoui4 be branded upon every ; proirer of sorvii,,,, c! or cworperation froni Messrs.

As a matter of principle he regretted being. obliged to do so. A resolu tion was subsequently passed, attaching two thousand pounds per annum to the office of Pre sident of the Board of Trade, which, with the emoluments of the Treasurer of the Navy, make up an income of 5,0001. a year between the two appointments which are annexed in the person of Mr. Huskisson. We, in common with the Right Hon. Secretary, lament that the opinion of the Legislature was not more unequivocally express ed regarding a measure which we consider sound in principle, and which could never have been carried at a more suitable period than the pre sent. The most determined opponents of Mr. Huskisson are ready to admit that his zeal and industry in office are unprecedented, and had we not felt convinced of the utility of the grant, we should have been inclined to have conceded largely for the purpose of offering a boon to a Minister who has laboured so sedulously, and acted so firmly, in the service of his coun. try• As it is, however, we think the Ministers have done wisely in abandoning the motion, not withstanding they had a majority. This circum stance is an additional proof, if one were want ing, of the independence of the House of Com mons, and falsifies tide assertions 'of the annual Parliament advocates, that the Legislature is under the controul of the Crown. However this, like all preceding facts of a similar nature. which every Session produces, will pass unheeded by these candid and sapient State Physicians, and we shall hear again, before many months are over our heads, Palace-yard echoing with the corrup tion of Parliament, and that the Minister can buy every Member in either House, with the excep tion of the few upright patriots who figure on the Covent-garden hustings, and are eloquent at the windows of the King's Arms Tavern. [MORNING HERALD.] Lord Darnley, in the House of Lords, last night, adverted to the recent death of an officer on the coast of Kent, occasioned by one of the Blockade men ; spoke of the necessity of a revi sion of the system, and said that on an early day he should call their Lordships' attention to it with the view of effecting an alteration of the Coast Blockade. Before that his Lordship Can do, any think effectual in this matter, he must live to see an end to the C 413844 of the horrible system in question, and that is the National Debt.--In the llouse of Commons, the debate on the propo sition to give 'Mr. lluskisson 5,000/. a year as President of the Board of Trade, leaving 3,0001. for the Treasurership of the Navy was renewed ; and after considerable discussion the House divided on it. The numbers were—For the Mi nisters, 87 ; against them, 76 ; majority, 11. It was then declared, that with so small at majority the Ministers did not think it right to press the proposition on the House, and it was thereupon withdrawn. As there was no objection to in crease Mr. Huskisson's salary for the two offices 2,000/. a year (in addition to the 3,0001. a year now , received as Treasurer of the Navy) was agreed to,making 5,0001. for the two offices. The result was hailed with considerable cheering by the Opposition. We are glad of this so fur as it goes ; we only wish that the thing had been altogether negatived. Now, if it had not been fur Mr. Hume, this barefaced proposition tt odd have passed in comparative silence. Our opinion both of Mr. Robinson, who brought forward the thing, and of Mr. Iluskisson, who spoke upon the thing, is much lessened. We did think that both those Gentlemen were more independent, so fur as pecuniary matters were concerned. EAST INDIES. EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED ST. HELENA, FEU. 26, " The Cara-brea Castle has arrived here, after an uncommon quick passage, having left Calcutta on the Ist of January. She brings intelligence of a severe engagement having taken place between Sir A. CAmpnEt.z. and the Burmese, which lasted' three days. Our loss has been extremely heavy. Eleven King's officers killed:and wounded, exclusive of those belonging to the Company's service ; and though the Burmese retired from the field, it clues not appear that our troops had made any advance. `The ritinervl East Indiaman is supposed to wait,for the official accounts. General Moitalsolr, commander of the Arracan division, died on board the Carn.brea Castle, on the passage to St. Helena." (From the cialeulta John Bull of Dec. 26.) Contrary to the expectations of many, Durjunt hat per mitted active operations 'to commence against Bhurtpore, on the part of the besieging force. The morning of the 10th stout, saw the haad-quarters of a British force established once more under the Walls of Bhurtpore t and the position of Lord Lake, so celebrated in the history of our power, in India, again taken up by the division under Major-General Nicolls. Our troops had succeeded in getting possession of The sluice which lets in the water of the (heel to the wet ditch of the fort—a success regarded as. of considerable importance In expeditin g operations. The stopping up the Bund, which had been in. effectually cut by the Blittrtporeans, had been intrusted to C tptain Irvine of the engineers, who accomplished it without any loss upon our part. By the 12th it.was expected that, the whole field of artillery woul d be in p osition ; and from the.ad mirable state of equipment of the whole force, and the spirit with which every corps is actuated, we may rely on soon hay. ing to communicate to our readers the fall, and we hope, the final extinction of this once proud and formidable fortress.— The energy and activity displayed by the Commander-4141M in reaching and taking into the field the besieging army, is be. yond praise. It was anticipated by no one that the force could be in position sooner than thed sth, or even the 25th of Decetn; ber ; but they who thought so calculated, it seems, without *a knowledge of what an active commanding officer may achieve. Since writing the above, letters from the camp before Blinn pore, of the 11th, announce that the. Dewan , had been sent out by Durjunt Sal, to plead for peace, but nothing of the result Was known. • Letters from Agra state, that the Bhurtporcans were firing away at every thing that approached the place, from which we may gather that the Deivan, if actually sent out on the I Ith to supplicttto peace, had been unsuccessful. From tke octiie . .inirations now going forward at Bhurtpere. we naturally turn our attention to Prome, from which we still remain without any intelligence beyond the 21st ultimo. The enemy with whom we have to contend in that quarter, and the country in which our warlike operations are conducted, pre clude the possibility of those active movements which seem so essential to the character of our power as paramounOta the East, and on this account more perhapolan on any other, is the present war with Ava to be regretted: However signal ultimate success may be, delay in arriving at it must affect the very foundation of the power; and perhaps no object, whether of conquest, or security, or vindication of our atho. rity, ought in good policy to be attempted where it cannot be promptly accomplished. A month has now elapsed since the Helen left Rangoon; and the non-appearance of any other vessel, when several were just about to sail, would seem to indicate that the ships had been detained by Sir Archibald Campbell, until the result of the enemy's attack on him should be seen. Our troops, as we have already mentioned, were anxiously expecting and inviting this attack, as they seemed to regard it as holding out the best chance of being able to proceed on their march to Umrapoora, if not also the only road to retreat upon Rangoon, should retreat become unfortunately necessary, either from the impossibility of getting supplies, or from the enemy opposing a force and persevering spirit which Sir Archibald may not have the means to overcome. From the period at which the boats with the 87th, King's, left Rangoon, it is impossible that they could reach Prome be fore the attack of the Burmese, if, as expected, this attack took place about the,23d tilt. nor could Mr. Robertson, the Com missioner, have reached head-quarters before the event. (From the Calcutta Government Gazette of Dee. 28.) BritravemtE.--iWe have much satisfaction in publishing the following brief notice of the proceedings of the army before Bhurtpore, on the 12th instant : On the 10th instant his Excellency the Commander-in- Chief proceeded with a detachment of Major-General Rey. nell's (the Ist division) towards the town of Bhurtpore, moving on the Jheel, or lake, lying to the northward ; while Major-General Nicoll*, in command of the 2d, or Agra Divi. vision, having shown a force on the other side, the bund or em bankment of the Jheel was taken possession of without oppo sition. The garrison of Bhurtpore had cut the Bund during the early part of the preceding night; but it was effectually repaired by our engineers in the course of the day, and it ap pears by the report of Hurkarrahs, that the quantity of water obtained for the outer ditch of the town is very inconsiderable. During the operation of securing possession of the Bund, the guns of the fort kept up a pretty constant fire, and a few shells were thrown, which were attended with very little effect. 4 The Infantry of the division under Major-General Nichols 'having been prevented from proceeding on the 10th to take up its assigned position before Bhurtpore, owing to the want of provisions, the Major General detached the Ist Brigade of Ca valry at four o'clock in the morning of that day, under the command of Brigadier Murray, in order to take advantage of any attack which might be made by order of the Commander in-Chief on the force stationed on the northern face of Blind , pore for the protection of the Bunch This detachment con. sisted of four squadrons of his Majesty's 16th Lancers, under the command of Major. Persse , four squadrons of the 6 th Light CavalryMnder Lieutenant-Colonel Becher, Bth Light Cavalry, under Lieutenant-Colonel Gall, a troop of HOrse-Artillery, with two twelve and two six-pounders, under Major NVhish, and a detachment of Skinner's horse under Mr. Fraser, who led the advance. On arriving in• the vicinity of the Bnn d,i on the north-west side of the fortress, an encampment of the Bhurtpore cavalry was discovered, while a village also was oc cupied by their pickets, and several patrols skirted the wood on our right flank; Skinner's horse and the Hankers of the co. lumn were directed to make a flank movement, by which they cut off about 00 horsemen before they could reach an outwork, where the greatest proportion of them, with a loss of a con siderable number of their horses took refuge. Two supporting sctuadrons, aiso, of his Majesty's 16th Laancer's, and Bth Light Cavalry, under Lieutenant. Colonel Becher, attacked a small village which Doorjun Situl's troops had occupied, and and where several of his cavalry were cut up, .after making a determined resistance. About this time the guns of the fort opened, but did not effect much mischief. Brigadier Murray speaks in handsome terms of the zeal and intelligence of Mr. Fraser, in command of the detachment of Skinner's horse, with whose behaviour he expresses his high gratification. The casualties were very few. Mr. Fraser received a slight wound on one side of his forehead, and Lieutenant Armstrong, of his Majesty's 16th Lancers, was hit by a spent ball on the right side. On the 12th inst. the battering. train began to arrive, and it was expected that, on the following day the points of attack would be determined on. Since the above was in type, we have received the following private intelligence from Bhurtpore, dated the 13th:-- On the 'llth a grand reconnoisance of Bhurtpore took place.' Lord Combermere, accompanied by General Nicolls, went entirely round the fort. There was much canonading, six or eight men were killed and wounded, whish is letting us oft cheap, considering that they were frequently within three hundred yards of the fort. As the artillery will all be up to morrow, the batteries, which are to he commenced upon imme diately, will soon be armed. The timely stopping up the sluice, cut too late by the Bhurtporeans, has had the best effect, leaving, it is' supposed, only four or five feet water in the ditch, and thus depriving the fort of' its chief defence. I The Agra Dwak,. of the 14th ' came in last night, but no letters from head-quarters of that date have yet reached Cal cutta. (From the Calcutta Government Gazette of Nov. 24.) When the terms of the treaty arrived, and were laid before the King (of .ova), lie blew into a most violent passion, and instantly sent off orders for the war to be carried on with the Most vigorous exertions—demanding why time was lost in talking with the English, and the reasons for it and the de lay. The Kee Woonghee and General laid the blame on Menghee Oooznith, whom the King ordered to be put to death ; but this was couuter-ordered on the same day. It is also said, that when the Kee Woonghee and Attawoons re ceived the terms which the. English proposed as a basis of treaty, they lost their heart's and Were downcast, but were obli ged to send the information to Court, or their lives would be forfeited. The Bonnet+ e Generals daily receive order to pro ceed to fight. ' The general opinion now in the Burmese ranks is, that the English are making fools of them in proposing terms. The desertions fram the Burmese positions are very great-50 to 100 per day. Upon the news of a treaty of peace first reaching the King, he ordered the Europeans out of con finement, and pl a ced them In an open garden of his own ; but when the particulars arrived, he ordered them again into close confinement. r prom the ('aktitta Government Gazette of Nov. 28.) The last arrival from Rangoon has , brought very little news from our army in Awl. His Majesty's Royal Regiment had embarked on board the boats of the flotilla, and proceeded to Ycoundoon about the 22d of October. One of the guid es went to Ale.a.dy by water, in the boat of a trader, and re mained at that place six days. Whilst he was there, he heard that at Illatoon, under Arnaibaboo, there were only 4,000 men. At Pull°, on this side of Me-a-dy, 6,000. together with 30 guns of a►l sorts. He also heard, that 6,000 men had been de tached at Pattb. On the right hank there were 3,000 men, and 4,000 have gone inland towards 11Iaintloon.
